The Right Stuff!

PNY VCGGTX260CXPB GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
PNY VCGGTX260CXPB GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Great overclocking ability (as just ordered), works as good as any GTX 260 core 216 out there. The main concern I had was fan noise, but honestly, at less than 75%, I dont even notice it. The card has run great in WoW (what I play most) and stays under 70 C with a moderate O/C (685/1477/1202)! Norm is around 51 C. Given the rebate, this is the best video card performance:$$$ out there...

Cons: It's a large card, about 1.25" longer than my previous 8800GT - but my case had no problem to accomodate.

Overall Review: Make sure you have a solid PS as others mentioned. I use an older Rosewill 550W with 2 6-pin 12V leads (20A and 18A) and it works great. Also, using the latest Nvidia drivers 185.85 and never had a crash yet. Also works perfectly with the EVGA Precision utility to aid in OC and fan speed control.

Good deal for the $$$

Tenda U12 AC1300 Wireless Dual-Band USB Adapter

Pros: Works around 250+ mb/s most places around the house. Comes with a usb extension

Cons: Does seem any faster on usb 3 vs 2... Same through put with either on several different PCs.

Overall Review: Good value especially when on sale through Newegg.

Solid Gold wonder!

Nexus 6P 64GB Matte Gold LTE Unlocked Smartphone (US Warranty)
Nexus 6P 64GB Matte Gold LTE Unlocked Smartphone (US Warranty)

Pros: I've been a Samsung smartphone user since the 1st gen Galaxy, then a Note 2. I love the Nexus, because it offers so much style but backs it up with the super fast Snapdragon and 8 cores of processing power. As others have said, you can't understate the sheer speed of stock Android Marshmellow. I did experience two issues since I bought this phone 4 weeks ago. One, the bluetooth paired to my 2016 Dodge van would work fine for phone, but the streaming audio was very quiet (extremely low volume) in comparison. Also, the deep sleep and doze modes to save battery wasn't working very often. But, the beauty of a Nexus phone is the regular updates from Google. As of the March and now the April updates, both problems are gone! The phone sips power to the tune of less than 1% per hour! And the music streaming works fine in the new Dodge now over BT! I also pair this phone with my Kia and a remote BT speaker in the house and it all sounds/works great! Lastly, I love me some G O L D! Not the yellowish gold of the Samsung, but a true light Champagne that just looks awesome! No regrets, and best of all, it keeps me contract free on Sprint!

Cons: If I must find a con, I'm a big guy, so the size of the phone seems great to me, especially for the 5.7" WQHD AMOLED which is perfect to my eyes and watching videos on the go. To some, it may seems a bit large!

Overall Review: Highly recommend - especially if you want to avoid contracts, pay a minimal monthly plan, and have the freedom to swap to any carrier at any time in the U.S.

Great speed and value for DDR3 RAM

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C11D-16GXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C11D-16GXL

Pros: Works at advertised timings using XMP profiles Nice vibrant red color and doubles as a finger saw! Windows 7 benchmark on 2nd-gen Intel i5 went to 7.9! Ran Windows memcheck with NO issues

Cons: CAS 11 isn't super fast but at is does support 1T and 2T options in the XMP1 and XMP2 profiles

Overall Review: Worked right off the bat with an older i5 (2nd generation) build in an ASRock Z68 motherboard. NO issues, system recognized the XMP timings and it has been rock solid since. I will update if anything changes.

Silicon Power 64GB Jewel J06 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SP064GBUF3J06V1D)

Pros: Works well at USB 3.0 speeds Benched at over 100 MB/sec read speeds using Windows 7 file copies Small size with nice lanyard or keychain handle

Cons: Write speeds are good, but not outstanding - 20 MB/sec typical at USB 3.0

Overall Review: Overall very happy with it, good value for the $ when on sale.

Great RAM both speed & price!

G.SKILL TridentX Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-8GTX
G.SKILL TridentX Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-8GTX

Pros: Very fast CL of 9.6 @ 2400MHz, 9 at 2133 Supports Intel XMP 1.3 for EZ setup in most BIOSes Nice removable heatsink design Passed on Win7 memory diagnostic and Memtest 5.01+

Cons: You could cut your fingers handling these babies (like some reviewers have)!

Overall Review: I tested these in serveral passes of Memtest 5.01 at 2400MHz and 2133 - both had NO errors. However, when I first installed this set in my Gigabyte F2AX88XM AMD motherboard, it didn't recognize the XMP profile timings. I literally had to re-flash my BIOS to clear the previous set of memory's XMP data and then this memory was automatically timed perfectly using XMP. I've never had that happen before! Not a fault of the RAM, but rather Gigabyte on no factory reset of all settings in their BIOS! Very happy with this set as it has easily passed all tests and works great at either 2400 MHz (CL10) or 2133 (CL9).

Great deal

Item received in reasonable time and packaged very nicely with gift consideration for a new watch. Watch was brand new and no issues. I would definitely buy from again.
